Issue #3 - Contents:

Feature...

File Selectors - Kev Beardsworth continues his series of feature reviews with a look at file selectors.
"The File Selector, love it or hate it there's absolutely no way of avoiding it. Every time you want to load a file into your favourite program it pops up out of the blue begging for your attention."

Reviews...

Afterburner 040 - Richard Elwell puts some spark in his Falcon.
"The Afterburner has it's own bus and it's independent from the Falcon's, it is effectively a separate computer."

AT Key Interface - Domhnall Dods interfaces with AT Key.
"If you are familiar with the inside of your machine and have for example, upgraded your memory then moving your keyboard processor should present no great problems."

NVDI 4 - Kev Beardsworth tests the latest incarnation of this popular screen accelerant and GDOS replacement.
"Making an Atari look faster by speeding up its screen display is no longer NVDI's main function."

Positive Image - Colin Fisher-McAllum starts a two part look at this new image processing/retouching package from Floppyshop.
"I have read, and even written, the news items about Positive Image for a number of months and have been waiting patiently for it's release. Well, it's here, has it been worth the wait?"

SyQuest carry case - Domhnall Dods zips his SyQuest 135 into a new carry case.
"The outside is well finished in black and even has a rather natty embroidered SyQuest logo in case you forget what's inside."

Articles...

Atari Computing - Joe Connor introduces this new magazine.
"Without a magazine the only way to find out what's happening is to be on-line but realistically we needed another printed magazine fast!"

The Final Nail? - Frank Charlton, ST Formats's former Technical Editor provides a personal view on what's happened, and what's likely to happen.
"So, here we are. After 86 issues and a few specials, not to mention the original issues of ST/AMIGA FORMAT, the last newsstand Atari magazine in the UK has quietly passed away."

POV Raytracing - Adam Foster starts a series of POV raytracing tutorials
"Probably the best, and cheapest, raytracing software for the Atari is the Persistence Of Vision Raytracer."

Star.Accessories - Next in to bat with his choice of Star Accessories is NameNet author Roger Derry who has chosen "STree" and the controversial "Harlekin".
"I resent the space taken up by accessories and therefore they have to shout loudly, and convincingly, to gain a permanent place in my Atari."
